Fill Dirt in Nectar, AL

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards of fill dirt. Using a mid-range price of $20 per cubic yard delivered, material cost would be about $185; add any spreading fees (drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion for an extra charge) and possible delivery surcharges for short-notice or next-day service. For an exact total including spreading, request a quote with your zip code and any site-access notes.

Driveway cost depends on length, base thickness, and finish material. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft) with a 4-inch fill-dirt base would need about 12.3 cubic yards to allow for compaction and grading, plus stone for the surface; material-only for the fill dirt could run $150 to $300, while crushed stone surface and contractor installation typically add several hundred to a few thousand dollars. Hello Gravel can deliver the fill dirt, but full installation (grading, compaction, stone spreading) is usually handled by local contractors—contact our team for delivery scheduling and recommendations.

Per cubic yard, fill dirt is usually cheaper than decorative gravel or crushed stone, but they serve different roles: fill dirt is for building up elevation and providing mass, while gravel or crush-and-run is designed to provide a stable, draining base or finished surface. For a driveway you’ll often use fill dirt only to raise grades, then a compacted base material (stone) on top for structure and drainage; Hello Gravel can supply the fill dirt and coordinate delivery for the stone you need.

You can sometimes lay gravel over existing dirt if the surface is reasonably level and not prone to pooling, but low spots, soft clay, or poor drainage often require adding and compacting fill dirt or installing a proper base first. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery of materials but does not perform excavation, compaction, or full installation work; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but for site prep and compaction we recommend hiring a local contractor—contact our team for delivery timing and contractor referrals in Nectar.

Hello Gravel provides instant online estimates and delivered pricing once you enter your zip code and order details. Free on-site estimates for installation or full driveway prep depend on local suppliers and contractors rather than Hello Gravel’s standard service—if you need an on-site assessment, we can help connect you with local partners who offer that service in West Alabama.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (1,000 sq ft x 0.25 ft / 27). Fill-dirt weight varies with moisture and composition, but a good rule is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, so plan on roughly 11 to 15 tons for that job. Hello Gravel’s material calculator can compute yards and estimated tons and we can schedule delivery once you enter your address and preferred delivery date.

Yes—Nectar’s red clay soils can be sticky, hold water, and influence compaction and drainage, so you may need different material or more fill to achieve a stable grade. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and can source fill that better suits clay conditions (for example, cleaner, better-draining fill or sand mixes) but final recommendations depend on your site’s drainage and intended use—contact our sales team for material suggestions and a delivery quote tailored to your lot.

For lawns you typically want clean fill dirt that is free of large debris and has enough organic matter or topsoil blended in to support grass; for a driveway base you want structural fill (well-graded material or crushed stone) that compacts well and drains. Fill-dirt pricing varies by type and local supply—clean fill suitable for lawns often falls in a mid-range price, while engineered base materials for driveways cost more; request a quote with the project use and address to get exact pricing in Nectar.
